Spendendepot

Spendendepot, a Zurich based non-profit organizing collections for refugees, is participating in Sammeltag on May 5th. Sammeltag is a Switzerland-wide collection day to support refugees in Paris and other locations in getting through the next cold season.  

We're collecting the following items that our team will deliver to Spendendepot.

- Sleeping bags and blankets
- Tents (2 person) and insulating mats
- Winter jackets for men in S and M
- Long underwear
- Cold weather clothes in S and M
- First aid kids and bandage material
- Backpacks and travel bags
- New hygiene products

Midwives in Ghana

We are also collecting mobile phones for midwives in Ghana who need them for their daily work. Many births take place in the countryside and phones help midwives connect easily with families. We are partnering with a Swiss midwife who plans to make a trip to Ghana in early May and will deliver the phones.  

If you have a spare handset, we are collecting all kind of mobiles. The phones can be older versions, but the calling function should work at a minimum. Chargers are welcome too. 

Donations can be given from Monday, April 30th to Friday, May 4th. If you’d like to donate items, feel free to contact Amanda at amanda@zharity.ch and we will arrange to get your donations. 

We will be arranging a public location where donation may be dropped off during collection windows. Any brainstorms on possible locations are welcome!

Thank you for all you do to support Collections!
